There has been a lot of hoopla regarding Tesla and its much-waited for Model 3. Akin to Apple’s iPhone, the Model 3 has garnered a lot of fans worldwide with some enthusiasts mirroring the devout followers of the iPhone ecosystem †1. Hindsight being what it is, it’s hard to dismiss these Tesla «fanboys» as over-protective of a particular brand of car, especially when we’ve been seeing this kind of attitude forever with Ford-vs-Chevy V8 block feuds and the likes of pickup prowesses.

Volkswagen's I.D. electric series, built using the same MEB platform, continues to draw raves. For the second time in the last two years, the I.D. Buzz, an MPV, that stands on a platform that is about mid-sizes was named "Concept Truck of the Year."

Arguably, the most unique looking vehicle offered in the reinvention of Honda Motor Company, 2018 Clarity BEV captures the imagination, yet comes to the precipice of the reinvention of the modern car through electrification with a limitation or two.

Few days ago Tesla started its official sales of the iconic Model 3 and in two months Nissan will unveil its 2018 Leaf which is comparable to Model 3 in many ways including the price and range. But here are few points when it comes to comparing Model 3 vs Nissan Leaf that are very necessary to take into consideration when making the comparison.

With the recent news of Cadillac’s plans to axe the ATS, CTS and XTS for a different lineup after 2019 we once again face the question of why did Cadillac have poor sales on its sedans. This seems to be a repeating trend in Cadillac’s history, while the German Big 3 seem to continue their dominance through the decades.

The 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Widebody is a relatively simple package, but after driving the meatier Mopar muscle car on the road course at Indianapolis Motor Speedway and roads around the track, there is no question that the bigger Challenger makes for an even greater Hellcat.

The popular Cadillac CTS and the not-so-popular ATS and XTS will all be replaced by two new models – the new Cadillac CT5 and an unnamed small sedan – when the life cycle of those current models ends in the next two years as GM’s premium luxury brand looks to cut down on the number of sedans in their portfolio.

I am reading that many people seem to complain about the cost of the Tesla Model 3. Some people say this electric car is too expensive for its specs, others say it's simply awesome. I think it depends on your place in the line.

After four successful years of LMP1 endurance racing, Porsche is pulling the plug on the effort in favor of an entry in the FIA Formula E (electric) category. The automaker will be boosting is GT endurance effort, though.

According to published reports this weekend, observers expect few VW turbodiesel owners to opt for vehicle repairs now available. More than likely, the owners will stick with their plans to have VW repurchase their vehicles.

That beginning MSRP gets you a hand built fully race equipped Acura NSX GT3 car, it doesn’t get you onto the track. According to HPD, 2018 Acura NSX GT3 is certified to race in over 24 FIA sanctioned racing series around the world. Are you ready?

After decades of post-modernization, Tesla Model 3, has finally become a serial production car. The company had set up a private presentation at its Fremont plant and has finalized Model 3's specs and prices. Interestingly, the final version of Model 3 is almost not different from its 2016 prototype. The first 50 cars went to employees.

General Motors is reporting a huge drop in profits and is considering killing as many as six sedans. The automaker is hoping a redesign of the trusty 2018 Chevrolet Traverse can spur renewed interest in the crossover.

Sometimes you think you see a Tesla Model 3 from far away coming you way, be it in a video or in reality, but then you realize it's a Mazda, Posche or another vehicle. Has anyone else experienced this?

As I am looking on Twitter, Facebook and social media to find any interesting piece of information about what's going on in Tesla headquarters ahead of the Model 3 handover party's start in few hours, I see some interesting tweets by Tesla investors and enthusiasts ahead of the start.
